A Few Things I'm Excited About

1. I know I've mentioned it before but I can not WAIT for The Night Bookmobile to be published in book form. It was a serialized graphic novel that was in the Guardian, but as of September 1st I'll be able to read the whole thing in a book. Did I mention it's by the one-and-only Audrey Niffenegger?




2. NPR Books Podcasts: This week I discovered that you can subscribe to the NPR book reviews and author interviews - All Things Considered - and upload them to your iPod. I've always kind of turned on NPR and hoped I would stumble across it, which didn't always work so well. Subcription? Yes please!


3. The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake by Aimee Bender. I've read a couple of reviews here and there and it sounds like this book has the potential to be amazing. I've got to track it down soon!


4. Eclipse on June 30th. I'm sorry I had to say it.

5. The Harry Potter Theme Park that opens this Friday, June 18th. Not that I'm planning to be in Orlando anytime soon, but at least I know I've got the option!

  1. We should go to the theme park next year! Flights are cheap to FL.

  2. Yes! I kind of want to wait and see what people think of it first to make sure it's worth while.

  3. It's Florida... beaches... sun... I think we could find something to do if the park isn't all that great.

    I kind of want to wrestle an alligator.

  6. Normally no, but I do things most people consider odd. Could you imagine me sans shirt with a pair of jeans taking down an alligator? Ha, makes me laugh thinkin about it!
